Uh, with everything happening today
You don't know whether you're coming or going
But you think that you're on your way
Life lined up on the mirror don't blow it

Look at me when I'm talkin' to you
You lookin' at me but I'm lookin' through you
I see the blood in your eyes
I see the love in disguise
I see the pain hidden in your pride
I see you're not satisfied
And I don't see nobody else
I see myself, I'm looking at the

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we, here, talkin' to each other again?

Uh, I see the truth in your lies
I see nobody by your side
But I'm with you when you're all alone
And you correct me when I'm lookin' wrong
I see the guilt beneath the shame
I see your soul through your window pain
I see the scars that remain
I see you Wayne, I'm lookin' at the

Mirror on the wall, here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can understand the man I am
So why are we, here, talkin' to each other again?

When was the last time you truly looked deep into the mirror?

❄️Winter supplements: I’ve recently re-introduced two items into my morning routine: Min 30-60 minutes of exposure to a 10,000 lux SAD lamp first thing in the morning and 3,000 IU Vitamin D 

💡Insight: Max Verstappen won the São Paolo Grand Prix last week with a spectacular drive in extremely wet conditions. Max on training as a child:

In winter, as soon as it started raining, everybody went to the cafeteria. There was just one kart going round and round. My dad said "Come on, toughen up a bit. You have to bite through it. If you're cold, put your fingers on the exhaust, before the gloves start melting, then go out again."
